The last time I saw him, he was excruciatingly calm, collected, and almost cerebral. The Mark of 8-10 years ago, now he'd be turning the hose on the kids playing on his lawn. By the way, I shoot mostly Tri-X and APX 400. I think a Sigma 35/2.0 would have greater resolving power than APX 400 35mm can record. So, as John Lennon purportedly said "It's all dick!"
